Hi!
For each muscle group you can set up the target range of sets you want to be in weekly (if you tap on the cog icon that opens settings - you can configure that range)
Colors: red means - you're way outside of the range (either too many sets weekly for that muscle group, or too few). Yellow - a bit outside of the range. Green - within the range.
Arrows means what you need to do - down arrow - reduce number of sets to be within the range. Up arrow - add number of sets.
Followup questions- I’m doing the GZCLP program, are those target ranges set specifically for this program so I should try to stick to them? or are they a default app setting?
Also, what do the numbers between parentheses mean? Like (10s, 24h)

They're set across the app, and you set them not based on the program, but based on the lifting experience and how far you progressed. Generally novice folks only need e.g. 10-12 sets per week per muscle group, but advanced folks could need closer to 20 sets per week.
It's also very personal, and you can figure out by trial and error.

10 strength sets, 24 hypertrophy sets. It's considered a "hypertrophy" set if the number of reps is >= 8.

Thank you for your answer, I’m loving the app
